Advances in technology have changed the way we educate our children. And I’m so thankful! Online classes provide wonderful benefits for both homeschool parent and student. There are many reasons why homeschoolers are choosing online classes, especially for their high school students.

Online Classes Relieve Stress for the Homeschool Parent

As a homeschool parent, we have many responsibilities. We are often teaching multiple students at different grade levels on top of our household duties. Many of us work part time or volunteer many hours per week at church or in homeschool co-ops. Enrolling our high schoolers in online classes lightens our load by removing from our shoulders the brunt of teaching and grading. As an added benefit, online classes typically have built in record keeping which makes high school transcript creation a breeze.

Over the past month or so, I've seen so many parents talking about their distress that it might happen that the next U.S. President would be someone that they would not want to be their child's role model.

I sensed a lot of hopelessness about this, and wanted to share my own philosophy about role models and our children.

I wrote this well before the election, so please know that it is not aimed at any particular candidate. Instead, I want to encourage and build up parents and help them realize that they should be looking inward instead of outward.

Whether you are disappointed, elated, cautiously optimistic, or apathetic about the outcome of the election yesterday, I believe you will be encouraged by my message. Read it here.
